New Profession Requirements Reverted from Current Crafted Items

Blizzard announced on Twitter that they will remove the profession requirement on BoP crafted items that was added in Patch 8.1. With this change, characters that once crafted those items will now be able to wear them again, even not having that profession anymore.\r\rHowever, Blizzard also announced that future items profession gear, such as those to be unlocked when Season 2 kicks out, will have this restriction.\r\r<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We have reverted yesterday&#39;s change to require Profession skill for using high iLvl crafted items. This will be a requirement on future items, but for now you should be able to again wear the crafted gear you&#39;ve been using.<\/p>&mdash; WarcraftDevs (@WarcraftDevs) <a href="https:\/\/twitter.com\/WarcraftDevs\/status\/1072993206856380416?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 12, 2018<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\rFor more information about these new craftable pieces coming for Season 2, check out our updated profession guides:\rAlchemy Guide\rBlacksmithing Guide\rEngineering Guide\rLeatherworking Guide\rTailoring Guide

Why not just tell us straight away, "no more freedom choosing profession, and no crafting at all unless you are desperate". If this direction doesn't change, anyone aspiring above casual play will just ALWAYS have to pick their armor class crafting profession, because anything worth attention is going BoP like in BC. I'd swallow this if the items were account-bound, but.. this is really silly. And with the silly expulsom amounts, my guild finished a curve in Uldir with better drops for EVERYONE before they managed to get enough of the garbage crap to craft anything worth of attention. In my case, I even got 2 alts that got better gear before I could craft anything on them. That's not even silly, that's just mind-bogglingly stupid.

The fact that it didn't occur to them in advance that this would cause a mountain of problems speaks volumes for the devs responsible for this expac. One can only assume that they sacked their entire QA dept a few months back, then just kicked back and got high.

Thank you for reverting it.\r\rI'm legitimately confused by this statement, how did your item level drop from 377 to 329, you need sanguicells to make the good gear, yet to get enough of them to make something you'd need to be\rrunning Uldir, therefore getting upgrades, which would boost your item level, and they are BoP afaik, so how would your item level drop so low?

Maybe it's missing a few?\r\rThe text suggests it's supposed to not be all flight paths, which is BS.\r\rMy understanding is the original item was reusable and could be sent between factions. Chances are they want it to be consumed on use.
